[...] With his bow split, the lord Viṣṇu, protector of the worlds, hurled his great mace for the destruction of Jalandhara. That mace resembling a blazing flame (jvalanasannibha) when hurled by Viṣṇu moved with unerring aim and dashed against his body. Though hit by it, the great haughty Jalandhara did not move even slightly as though he was hit by a flower-garland. [...]�.
